If I leave my insight-writing behind, I might cross into new terrain and can write that then.

Whatever you leave others will sort out. Escape with your life. Leave the furniture. What do you care if others use it for firewood?
:- Doug.
Thousands of fingers
tapping the water
crystalline flashes
rise up to welcome
nourishing rains

Footprints in the Windsm # 1488
As our humanity grows in less physical theaters, such as mental, intellectual, spiritual, caring, it is inevitable that some of us will not pick up the new, or will do so imperfectly, or will break it, or will fight it. So we can expect increasing inane and insane acts. As love moves in, so do Hitlers, Sadams, and hoodlums. As the Internet shows us all to be one, so grow the cries to strengthen the borders, keep out the other, keep us pure. We who see something larger must expect increasingly to see smaller minds grow more active. It is a sign. A sign that if what we see is upon testing better, we must increase our resolve and open our mouths.

held in my hand
heat exchanges slowly
rock-shaped hearts
will take holding
longer than I hoped

Why am I doing this? Why am I working today?
Well, why? To get ahead of things, to get ready for clients, to be less stressed come Monday. To get further down the road on my Holy Work; to give me some pondering reflecting time.
This is holy time, time to do my Work, capital-W. Clear some space in both this day and the upcoming days to reflect, to touch the larger. So the world is just that much larger, and so I can perchance show others some of that larger.
A good question to ask ourselves each day: Why am I doing this? Why am I working today?
:- Doug.
The group doesn’t need my presence
only their own
doing modifying
knowing their own presence remembering
they can do and modify again again

our energy
our power
resides in
is released in
our relating
not in steel
nor flint
in touch

Today’s Socrates will ask
Students not so they will find answers
On some webbed network
But so they will raise
Reflective questions
To carry us beyond answers
To more reflective questions
